"Gravity Introduction: & Politics"
Moving day.
One of the best days of Gemikai's entire life. At least right now in his current life era. Gemikai moved into the living quarters of the newbie training brackets of the USD. The previous move was big - leaving your family behind in search of a path. Gemikai didn't have too much issue because nothing was heavy for him lifting ving trucks came to successfully pack all Gems things accordingly. Gem did it by himself and fast, no USD co workers trying to butt in - it's best to check this base out solo anyways. Protection purposes of course. The camera shifts to Gem still walking around the base - the literal only person in this huge estate. A few hours of a time skip - obviously used to transfer his things to his new house location. Gemikai gave the drivers a good tip as he let them know their job was done. Gemikai was very focus driven so he was really trying to get it done with little delay. The readers wonder why. The USD organization haven't figured out what they want with it - but for now, they were choosing to start the process by allowing Gemikai to live there. Gem was so surprised by how beautiful the house was inside and out. The camera can see Gems face of admiration, his hands of curiosity, and footwork of caution as his spirit guides his body on yet another tour of the basically mansion. Gemikai finally stopped admiring the base for a few minutes to sit down on his couch, that's located in his new house. A house he already loved - it felt like a good day this afternoon to Gem. The agent of peace pulled his phone out and proceeded to finally chill out for two seconds to check his notifications and alerts. By two seconds it did end up a good hour of Gem just stuck on his phone - but the camera sees a different look on Gemikai then the typical twenty year old phone scroller. Something was amist.
Gem was ignoring the rising social "attention" his power has caused lately for a while now. The boundaries of "no politics" that Gemikai held for so long - was almost beating down his door through social media. Gemikai gets A LOT of compliments when walking into bases - other USD agents who weren't combat related but still somehow very informed about Gemikai's progress. This shit started a few weeks ago - in fact. It was Gems decision to use his healing abilities as much as he could to help. This caused a ripple of different public events that caught the eye of journalist and bloggers. Gem shook his head back to the present as the phone disappeared into his pocket. Back on task. The now refocused Gemikai - stood up with confidence and haste, started his walk again in his new house. This time a destination was set within, a place to focus the restlessness on. Minutes later Gem found himself approaching the door for the gravity training room. Both feet took a seat if you know what I mean - a full stop. Gem could feel the steel on the door and how fortified it was to withstand gravity change rapidly like that. Gem stood for a second - just absorbing the details before making his entrance. It didn't take long, Gemikai had goals after all. The camera shifts a few minutes to Gem in front of a large screen with buttons trying to figure out the ropes. Gemikai knows enough about technology to not touch anything that could start or power something; however, a man needs to know how to run his own training programs. After a few minutes - Gem finally got to the gravity adjuster - and turned on the gravity adjuster.
Slam!
Gemikai's body went straight into the ground! Hard! Maybe not enough to actually hurt Gemikai mortally but Gem definitely made a sound upon impact. Gem could feel the pressure, and it almost put Gem into shock as his eyes widen from the floor. It felt like something huge was purposely being applied on the agents body. Gem took a deep breath once, and then again, and then one more final time before opening his eyes with determination. Then - Gem pushed himself with nothing but willpower up on his feet. The standing position was off balance due to the weirdness of the gravity - but it was all the energy he could muster at the moment. The man was training just standing there breathing for his life, and yet - Gemikai hadn't checked the gravity of the room. 40 times gravity. The gravity in this mother fucking room was forty times the damn gravity. Gem just couldn't get over how much pressure his body was feeling. And yet, Gem was still standing! Amazing in itself. Instead of adjusting the gravity to a lower setting to pace himself, our favorite USD agent kept the gravity where it was set. For a brief moment Gemikai was taken through a small mental memory lane of a few characters that changed his life recently. There was Athren - Gem met plenty 'earth based' Saiyans cut off from their ancestors strength. Just regular people damn near with a will to fight to Gem, but Athren was different. Athren was a level of power unimaginable. This gravity felt similar to when they had that first meeting. No time to do the flashback that could easily push my word count. The invisible non existent camera man can see waned down Gem taking his first step forward. This one step was the start of the session - Gravity walking. No easier way to put it - since technically this would be the only type of training Gemikai could manage at the moment. Gemikai took another step and the camera person can see the strain all on his face and body posture - this shit looked like torture. But the pressure was on baby, and Gem took yet another step.
The walk of gravity began - and with it his roaring mind was somehow able to trail off during the long dreadful process. The repressed thoughts that loomed over his fate as a USD agent, Gemikai was starting to think on all the things that appeared on the Internet - with Gems name on it of course. Gemikai remembered the tags on his personal social media, the friends request, and the videos they knew were him. Gemikai most days put his head phones in and try to blend in if spotted, but his ability to heal has caught the news eye. Not just the healing, but Gem has been seen lifting heavy things, super speed, and of course flight. It's a small amount of agents who can do it but the ones that are - now where near Gemikai's level of strength. When all of this started, flight with a little bit of ki control got him in the door - and Gemikai's overly humbled nature created a false sense of security. This false sense of security was activated as a means to think Gemikai wouldn't be noticed for anything but his good spirit. That false security broke piece by piece when the agent became a healer.
No one ever needed to tell him to heal the injured first, Gemikai came so well trained to everything he was praised in every corner of USD. Well, not every corner - in fact it was a few politicians who decided they couldn't trust Gemikai because of his strength. Gemikai lately was able to see different groups of the cities debate over the mysterious bald man who comes to save the day. Gemikai was never interested in publicity or fame, but this was the cost of the power that's used in this day in age of technology. Gemikai was a natural flight technique applier, so when a group of random humans with cameras thought they got the jump Gem would dash off into the sky. It was kinda funny to Gemikai at the moment of lift off but it was also annoying that in each city bloggers and social groups are looking to The USD for answers. Answers that the USD don't really have.
The camera slide back into present focus, as the character of development Gemikai took yet another lap around the entire gravity machine. The gravity was still pounding but at least the description of the training was simple. Walk & survive the gravity - at least until you get to running. It basically felt like resistance to this overwhelming force of gravity is a training form just fine for anyone starting. Or at least that's what Gem was telling himself as he dragged along to the challenge of gravity training. Gemikai been around a few times already but this kind of shit took consistency. To get to where The Queen, and to get to Athren - This was the only way to get stronger. Using every resource he has, Gem has always found a way to improve himself.

Gemikai started to blur back into his more repressed thoughts as the pain continued to press into him. The next thought that came to front was a few days ago - when some of the USD agents wanted to ask Gemikai a bold yet controversial question.
Random USD Co Workers:
"Hey Gemikai. A lot of us were thinking and talking about who leads us USD agents. You're on the news! Then we got to thinking You're the strongest out of all of us. You ever think about moving up in the chain? I mean a strong guy like you could really do the USD some good! Those pencil pushers and politicians don't have power to protect us. Power and leadership with you is so easy. You do! You're fighting crime and healing people! Bro I know you could definitely do it!"
Gemikai:
"Huh. I don't know if I should be off put or flattered. I never think about that kind of stuff. Most corporations are usually bullshit. At first I just wanted to put my abilities to good use, but now I have grown interested in real stronger and more formidable threats. And where I'm at on the food chain they call me when they need me. I didn't come for a supervisor position haha - I came to work with the USD to protect the planet. If I need to move up in the chain it'll happen organically, but frankly - I don't like politics so I pray they take their time. I try not to but I am somehow creating a name for myself inside and out of the group. It's not something I can control. I don't want to be egotistical - just grateful and proactive. All that other stuff is just in the air for me."
----
Returning back to his present point, Gemikai remembered feeling like that conversation was a sign.
A warning through the cosmos through the common people - the social internal power of the USD members. The camera slides it's visibility back to check on the training Gemikai. Still walking through gravity breathing as smoothly as possible through this process. Gemikai wasn't counting the laps - that kind of thinking would cause Gem to be holding on to each lap. Not to mention it was the introduction session to say the least. Gemikai's continued for a few more laps before finally making his way back to the machine. The power it took for him to move his legs to get to the terminal, the strain on his arms for just lifting his arms up, and even the sensation of resistance when Gemikai moved his neck - this torture better gave severe gains! Or at least that's what the wearer was probably thinking at this time. The last piece of pressure was applied - pressing the gravity release button - which dropped the hold it carried on the gravity of the room. Ever drop to your knees like church? Well, Gemikai definitely did.
The sounds of panting and heavy breathing filled the training area to assure the readers that this man was beat. Gemikai took a few minutes to himself for a somewhat decent recovery - the break time was paused when he got up at left the gravity room. The camera watches Gemikai return maybe thirty minutes later! With the training dummy! It was placed near the middle of the training room, but not used right away. Gemikai physically made sure it was set up properly before taking his own physical form to the terminal - then dropping on the floor in front of it again. Pressing that back up against that metal terminal Gemi went back into break mode! Gemikai was never done with his break. Gemikai after one session knew he needed his training dummy in the gravity chamber for like, ever. Gemikai was quietly catching his breath during this period of the game with no thought of his phone or mission statements. So it was chill, until it was time to get up and get back to training. Once the sweat was gone, the muscles were responsive, and his lungs were calmer it allowed Gemikai to stand up. This standing position was followed by a few hopping sensations to test how the body responded to new movement. The physical body was a curious thing, especially a body like Syndicate of Defense Gemikai.
The camera watches the shinny bald man ease his way back over to the middle of the room - you can see the determination in his spirit through his eyes. The target in question: the dummy machine. Gemikai pressed a button so fast the camera man didn't catch what program the dummy would be on. So for a second and a half created a little suspense to reveal what the dummy would do once the command was settled. A few sounds was heard, mechanical, a few lights lit up - and in a flash the dummy transformed into the obviously dashing Gemikai. This training dummy put his own arms into a defensive X stance once fully activated - this lets us know it's some kind of defensive program initiated - likely to serve for a person's offensive training. Gemikai slid his feet into a more balanced footing, focused his senses on his target, took a deep breath, and began rushing the dummy for attacks! These "rushes" were one limb attacks, piece by piece, and almost badly done. These strikes were slower, well timed, and critical. Even if obviously successfully blocked by a professional dummy, this training regimen is used to keep pushing the limits of the body - while focusing on core basics of different strikes and or attacks. The camera continues to see Gemikai perform slow timed attacks on this dummy for what would be probably the rest of the night. Gemikai switched from gravity training to combat dummy training during this night shift training session. It looked like Gemikai wasn't going for using both of them at the same time at the moment. The gravity machine destroyed him, so Gemikai wasn't going to be jumped by technology in the worse way like that. Gemikai completely accepted that it's destined for a different training day. Just not this first night. This first night was about learning the ropes of the game.
Gemikai put the dummy on a twenty minute time out at some point of all this heavy ass training. Gemikai finally remembered to look for his phone! The man was on it extra heavy before the gravity room introduction - and Gem remembered it was a few things the bald hero had to respond to. It only took a couple of minutes to locate, and when found, Gemikai was caught by the camera man sitting back on the couch playing on his phone like a teenager. Young looking just like one, but Gemikai is almost always conducting business on that piece of tech. Gemikai went for the faster replies first, then after leaving the more serious stuff for the morning - Gemikai left the house to get something to eat. Once Gemikai ate to restore his health and spirit - the young warrior was back in that training room getting back to basics - training.
Pacing yourself so you don't fall out, but pushing yourself so the gains don't stop either. The mental space started to drift back to some of the weird social media talks about USD leadership, supervisors performance punishment behavior, and of course - women. Gemikai may not have used that gravity again after round one for the night, but he has found the gravity chamber to be a successful tool in getting stronger. One of those women on his mind was actually specific. The Queen of Saiyans Zaks. Who gave him this mansion with training equipment PERFECT for his unique situation. Gemikai had to think about how to repay Zak beyond a good fight when he was all trained up. Gemikai had big space for partying, training, or anything useful. The moving day was turning out to be a success all throughout the night. Gem was concerned about roommates and what not but, all that was for another day. Gemikai kept training while more positive and a little negative energy flowed in and out of him - like water. Gemikai was thinking about Master Dende recommending him to train in Namek - but also the dark energy that currently resides around Namek. Gemikai for the first time in a while felt ready to fight for a cause. Gemikai was thinking about buying his first space ship just to go train with the Namekians, it was a more scary thought then Gemikai is willing to admit.
These positive thoughts grounded him when Gemikai felt weird political pressure about his job growing deeper. For now, Gemikai was grateful he was able to wake up and show up for his life. What will tomorrow bring? How much stronger can he get using the gravity machine and the training dummy? Will he be strong enough to give Queen Zaks the fight she was promised? Will Gemikai be capable of being one of earths defenders when it's life is in danger next - find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Horizon!
